    Why doesn't God speak for himself; reveal his own purpose? Why play a game with humans where they must believe you exist in order to be saved from a fate that they have to believe in you in order to believe even exists? Why go through all this trouble and play this game when people die as a result? And if this is a game then why cheat? Why force me to believe if you appeared to the guy who's telling us the story; asking us to believe IN HIM. Why do I have to believe in another human being in order to play this life and death game of believing in God? The truth is that this God who does not speak does not exist. WE exist and we create gods in order to understand and control ourselves and the world around us.

    There are multiple uses for a God. I think power is the main one or the one used most frequently. The concept of "you need to give me money in order to please God" tends to fly over people's heads without much thought. But gods are also recepticles for blame. This happened because god X wanted it. This was seen more plainly in pagan customs where you had many gods. The god of this and the god of that. With one God it is harder to see but the same holds true. Even when people die we say "God took them". God didn't take them. You just want to understand why this person died in a way that has little to do with how that person lived. Some people get killed because someone else makes that decision. Often people die because they make that decision themselves every time they eat, drink, don't exercise, drive fast, drive drunk, etc. We make all these decisions and do all these things and use God in order to feel better about ourselves.

  • Why A God? What's The Purpose Of (A) God?

    It's not just "Why" and "Purpose of A God".  What's important is to KNOW GOD, first!

    THEN, once we know HIM, we can seek to learn HIS expectations for the people HE Created and comply with HIS Laws, Statutes, and Judgments.  In this evil and wicked world, we need protection from all harm: enemies, sickness, and so-called accidents.  We require food and shelter.  And we excel with prosperity if we have it.  

    Given the Most High CREATOR GOD of this Universe, HE promises these things if we will only worship and serve HIM and live according to HIS Ways of Righteousness (Joshua 1:7,8).  

    These are reasons we need a GOD and the purpose for having HIM in our lives!  The CREATOR GOD takes care of those who TRUST IN HIM and who love HIM with all their heart and soul.  If we don't have the CREATOR GOD, then without a doubt, we are alone and in harms way.

    • I know you have an answer for a question did not ask.

      My question is: Why A God? What's The Purpose Of (A) God?

      The answer to that question may motivate my to get to know god.

    • Do you mean:  Why A God? 
      Do you mean?  Why is there a GOD? --- Without HIM, we would not exist.
       
      What's the purpose of a GOD? Do you mean:  Do we need a Supreme Being?
       
      Yes, we do, and for all the reasons I wrote previously. 
       
      If I still have not answered your question, then please rephrase it.
      The only way you will get to know the CREATOR GOD is to have a reason to seek HIM and that would come from FEARING HIM.  Then, you will know HIM because HE will reveal HIMSELF to you.

    I agree with you brother . The people who are teaching in the churches and other institutions have been socialized and brain washed. at some point we all must question everything around us if we ever hoped to be independent.   my email is   nkweku88@comcast.net    by all means please share any information and or scriptures you have that may shed light on the state of confusion we find ourselves in today..  hotep brother.

    Thank you brother for sharing the information about why a god. I agree with you 1000% The only god we need to be concern about is the god that lives within.  Im an ordained minister  and after years of studying after being ordained did I come into the knowledge of self.   hotep  brother.

      What's your email address brother, I'll send you some VERY profound articles, all backed by scripture so you can check it out for yourself. My email is ANUGDC@gmail.com. Hit me with a request & I'll send you MUST Read Articles & I promise YOU, you've NEVER read nothing like this. We're setting the record straight because most of our ministers are STILL teaching the same doctrine that was taught to us on the plantation with NO personal investigation about what we've been taught AND are teaching. We can believe something 100% & be 100% WRONG. So get ready for the truth because MOST of us, CAN'T handle the TRUTH!!! Hotep Wadu

    The purpose of a God is to keep us looking OUTSIDE ourselves for answers, instead of going WITHIN to tune into The God INSIDE of us, that constantly nudge us, but since we don't overstand what's going on, we find ourselves saying, "Man, SOMETHING told me to do that or Man, something told me NOT to do that." No one's explaining WHAT that something IS, & HOW to TAP that power that's TRYING to guide you. THAT'S the God within you but if you're taught about THIS, it'll put a lot of people OUT of business, such as therapists, marriage counselors, psychologists, psychiatrist, MINISTERS, Imams, Rabbi's & everybody else who gives OUTER guidance for an INNER problem. THEIR job is to listen to your issues but if you are taught HOW to sit in silence & go WITHIN, your inner issues will eventually DISSOLVE like melting snow. And you will no longer NEED these people to listen to you because NOW, when SOMETHING (your spirit) tells you to do something, you'll find yourself DOING it more & more & more. Just like riding a bike or anything else, the MORE you do it, the BETTER you get at it. The more you go within, the better you'll get at listening AND moving when urged. Remember THIS, "If you DO NOT go within, You WILL go WITHOUT!!!  A peaceof mind to start.

    • Thanks for being willing to engage in this dialogue.

      I do not speak for us, we or mankind.

      I speak for myself.

      I get "OUTSIDE", "WITHIN" and "WITHOUT" as mere concepts used to give blame, cause and justification to that which seems as or occurs as not explainable.

      "WITHIN" me are my internal organs.
      "OUTSIDE" me is everything that exists.

      Where WITHIN or OUTSIDE is the existence of a God?
